If a taxpayer is running a florist business as a sole trader. Are they able to claim motor vehicle expenses as a deduction for travel to & from the shop each day?
Hi @Florence123,
Trips between your home and your workplace (florist shop) are usually considered private so you won't be able to.
However, there are limited circumstances you can, but you would need to see if you're eligible.
You can though claim for trips from the florist shop to customers if you offer a delivery service. You can read more what trips you can and can't claim.
